Mika,

Can you supply a little more info on your photo?

What is that?

And what did you do to get it to pose like that?

Thanks!

Gary

And a story I read last week…

Australia platypus conservation centre, world's largest, welcomes first residents - https://www.reuters.com/business/enviro ... 024-07-24/

Ah hah!

Got me.

I was thinking platypus, but what the heck was it doing in Finland? Was it some sort of cold weather relative?

We have so many weird exotics roaming around South Florida now that it seems anything is possible.

I just watched a video on how to catch and cook iguanas and snakeheads from the same fishing trip. The latter actually look appetizing!

Hi,
that one is not in Finland. I saw meme with Platypus or what ever it is. I think it is funny looking and especially pose is something what easily relate when you just have to relax and wait better times to come.

It is raining and thundering at the moment so tomorrow waters should been cooled and it is fishing again.

greetings from north

Imagine the first white man finding a platypus.
“I found a mixture of beaver and duck and I got stung by it and were in pain for a month”
It is as reasonable as the Jackalope or Skvader. But exists for real.

The first link above explains that the image isn’t actually a real platypus.
